I did the Hamstring Edition twice and got my splits FLAT today with NO pain, for the first time since my injury!

A few weeks of the Pre & Post-Back programs and my back doesn't hurt anymore! I'm more flexible and am finally strong enough to do new tricks.

The Hip Hip Hooray workshop was the best
flexibility class I've done in 11 years of training. Catie explained why we were doing those specific exercises and gave really excellent cues on what exactly to engage. Such a breakthrough!
